The Pasco County Vet Center and the Firefighters Charities of Pasco Inc., will host a Spartan Pledge Event on Sept. 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Verizon Event Center, 8718 Trouble Creek Road in New Port Richey. Veterans, community first responders and families are invited to attend.
There will be a Spartan Pledge Ceremony at noon. The pledge is an oath taken by a veteran, first responder, caregiver or anyone who feels the need, stating they will not attempt suicide without first reaching out to a “Battle Buddy.” The pledge will be administered with the Spartan Sword, forged from 25 pounds of metal from the fallen World Trade Center.
There also will be live entertainment, a bounce house, and representatives from veteran and community agencies. Barbecue will be available for purchase.
